Stephon Marbury is not going to leave town quietly. With Nate Robinson hurt, Mike D’Antoni talked to Marbury about playing on Wednesday, supposedly even guaranteeing the disgruntled guard a starting spot for the rest of the season. Marbury refused and now, the Knicks have suspended Marbury for Saturday’s game and fined him 1/110th of his salary, or $189,460. Marbury is pleading for his release from the Knicks, but he also wants all of his $21 million. The Knicks don’t want to pay that and the only thing that seems certain at this point is that this will end badly.

Maybe it was Isiah Thomas and his constant trades that did it. Maybe it was the lousy basketball that did it. Maybe you are just waiting (and waiting) for the Nets to move to Brooklyn. Whatever the reason, at some point you stopped caring about the Knicks and no one can blame you. Being a Knicks’ fan has been almost impossible for the last few years and having doubts about their 6-3 start is only natural.
